Although Hurricane Irma caused me to miss the annual meeting in New Orleans, I have heard rave reviews. Many thanks to Executive Director Susan Perry, the SEMC Council, Past President David Butler (who stepped into my shoes), the Program Committee, and all of the sponsors, presenters, and conference participants for making it one of SEMC’s best attended and most successful conferences on record.

  • Bluegrass Corridor Management Planning Handbook
    Letter from the Secretary Dear Fellow Citizens of Kentucky: We are proud to present to you our Bluegrass Corridor Management Handbook. It is through our state's roadway corridors that we experience the best that Kentucky has to offer. We have prepared this handbook to be used as a guide for local community lead- ers, planners, and transportation officials for the development of corridor plans that are comprehensive and responsive to community values and the Kentucky heritage. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet realizes that our roadway investment decisions often influence not only traffic movement but also land development patterns and com- munity character. This handbook is intended to provide communities with a process for the development of plans that yield transportation investments that not only reduce congestion, but also encourage appropriate land use planning through the integration of community and environmental goals. We hope you find this work helpful, not only as a guide, but as a tool for the improve- ment of planning coordination at the state, county, and private sector levels. We under- stand that these decisions are difficult, however many of you have told us that a more community-based planning framework may be helpful. Therefore we are pleased to make available this handbook and look forward to working with towards improving the quality of life in Kentucky. Sincerely, James C. Codell, III Secretary of Transportation Acknowledgements The process of developing a corridor management planning handbook is a major undertaking, and one that draws on the abilities and cooperative efforts of many people. A Technical Advisory Committee was appointed early in the process to add their expertise to the handbook.
